3 reasons to use Tax Free if you’re not from the EU
Welcome to Romania! We’re glad you decided to visit our country and shop here. Romania can support you not only through its fantastic landscapes, vibrant cities, castles, and internationally renowned mountains. We are here to support you financially as well. How? By refunding the VAT from your purchases.
Before we get into details, we’d like to talk a bit about ourselves.
We are Tax Free, the first VAT refund program in Romania, which we established because we wanted people to have access to a law that protects them from double taxation. We thought it was normal and natural that, just as in other countries this possibility exists, it should exist in Romania as well, and here we are, for more than ten years in the market, helping NON-EU customers recover their VAT money.
Even better, in 2024 alone, we had over 16,893 customers from all over the world who declared themselves satisfied with our services.
Now, let’s talk a little about you.
First, we’d like to ask you where your permanent residence is. Are you from Moldova, Ukraine, Dubai, Turkey, UK, Serbia, Iceland? In fact, it doesn’t matter exactly where you reside, what matters is that it’s not in the European Union. We admit that we have many clients from Moldova, Ukraine, but also from Asia.
Why is it extremely useful for you to use the Tax Free service?
-
Firstly, you save the VAT, which you get back if you make purchases worth more than 175 euros.
-
Secondly, you can make purchases or investments for yourself or for your entire family. You can come to Romania, for example, just to change your phone, laptop, or to buy jewelry or clothes from the brands you love, which will therefore have prices 19% lower.
-
When you come to Romania and stay less than 60 days, you have enough time to visit, but also to shop in the Tax Free system. The best part that we haven’t told you yet is that we have over 800 partners from whom you can make purchases, and which you can find in major cities in Romania, in malls, and pretty much everywhere. So, you don’t even have to put too much effort into looking for stores, you’ll find them signaled by the TaxFree logo.
How does it work?
Now, we want you to know the whole truth from the start, namely that, from the amount of money you will receive back, 6% is our commission for applying the system. But don’t worry, this percentage covers the entire process, we take care of the paperwork, we return the money to you, either in cash or by bank transfer. We are 100% by your side in this process, so you feel that everything is going quickly and 100% safely.
Now that you know everything, all that’s left is for you to plan your trip to Romania.
The Tax Free team is looking forward to welcoming you!
